It’s a tough gig no matter what. I too hope they sort it out and fly on. They have been going sometime now. Agree in regards to the spreading it thin. Chasing the work? I still wonder how anyone competes with Alliance when it comes to charter, they have economy of scale for sure.
Airlines/ RPT always going to be a tough call unless it’s a perfect route. Remember the travelling public want LCC fares no matter what.... Obviously thy can’t have always.
Airnorth was mentioned somewhere here, captive market no competition and planes with no pilots? Not to mention talking about thin routes, you can’t tell me that Wellcamp RPT isn’t heavily subsidised.
As has been said the 135/145 a great cheap machine both capital cost and to operate. I do wonder when larger aircraft come when you can have a baby bus (318/319) operate for less with more seats.
Hopefully JG really do fly on!
